my grandmother passed away
| Wed, 03-19-2008 - 10:30am |
My grandmother got put in the hospital this morning. They are keeping her on a respirator until the family can get there. She will not last long.
I know if she does pass before the days end. her funeral will be held this weekend. My father does not have a whole lot of say so........ my problem is this yes my grandmother lived a full life and bless her........ but she has only one Great granddaughter, Jackie and she is close to her. How can a funeral take place and Jackie not be able to say goodbye? that is going to devastate my dd. Is this wrong to be so upset? I just dont know what to do. I have this feeling that Jackie is going to be really upset that she did not get to say goodbye. thanks for listing.

Hi D, I'm so sorry to hear about ur grandmother....I feel for you in regards to Jackie. I hope Jackie has lots of pleasant memories (and you too) of great grandma to comfort her thru this time. If its impossible for J to attend the funeral then I would say something similar to what you posted.
That it was sudden & unexpected when she went into the hospital and you were hard pressed to visit her before she passed. I think that is one truth you can share w/out having to go into the whole X/father figure issue of Jackie being unable to say goodbye. Then perhaps you can visit the gravesite & have Jackie say her private goodbyes. Ok, this is just a suggestion, I hope I didn't offend you.
Hugs to you & ur family on your loss...
I am sorry Deanna
Oh hon, I am so sorry.
I hope that the services will be held off until Jackie can get there.
Many many hugs and your family will be in my prayers in the days ahead.
